IMPROVEMENT IN STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 192,088, dated June 19,1877

application filed April 19, 1877.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ROBERT SIMPSON, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Stoves, of which the following is a specification This invention consists in an attachment to a stove of a curved or bent bar or rail, arranged at a suitable height above the floor, and provided with a lateral adjustability. It is designed, when drawn out, to furnish a support upon which towels or other like articles may be hung for drying, and, when not in use, it is returned to a position close to the body of the stove, preferably under the ledge formed by the projection of the top-plate, where it is out of the way.

Figure l is a perspective of a stove, showing the adjustable bar drawn out from the a stove, with the edge of the top plate broken ofl to show the method of fastening the bar to the stove; and Fig.2 is a vertical section.

The ends of the metal bar A, as shown, are bent from the central portion at right angles stops in preventing the rod from being detached when drawn from the stove.

Of course other means may be employed in fastening the ends of the rod to the store, and the cross and end parts of the rod may be made in separate parts, ject of my invention being to provide an adjustable cloth and towel drying support, having a lateral movement in relation to the stove, and attached thereto.

I claim and desire to secure by Letters Pat- .ent of the United States- The laterally-sliding bar A, attached to a stove, substantially as described.
